Runescape Game Play

The majority of people on Runescape get hacked by being careless, the chance of getting your account hacked is slim if you have an appropriate password that is only known to you.

Do not choose a password that is a single dictionary word, basic cracking software will try your user name with all the words in the dictionary, your password with a number on the end will only offer you a very limited bit more protection.

Having a word with numbers to replace letters is well known now and offers you limited protection.

Do not choose obvious passwords such as your dogs name, partners name your user name or your favourite car.

The safest way is to choose letters and numbers at random, although this will almost guarantee you not getting hacked by brute force it is not always easy to remember.

An easier way for a good security password is to Pick a word or 2 words and put random numbers in the word for example "Pot2ato0ca3t" this is easier to remember than random letters and not easy for cracking software to break.

The best password in the world will not keep your account secure if you tell anyone about it, it should be for your information only, do not tell friends, when you are playing with friends around cover your keyboard when logging in, if you have an argument with them what is to stop them giving your party hat collection to the first passing noob off of tut island.

Most accounts are lost by people not keeping their password secret.
